Department staff will make every effort to implement safe working practices within the chemistry laboratories. However, pupils also share this responsibility and should be aware of general procedures for safe working practice.

A number of documents will be issued to each pupil at the beginning of each year and all pupils should be familiar with their contents.

Copies of these documents in printable form may be viewed here in A4 (for folders) and A5 (for exercise books) formats:

Laboratory Rules - a code of practice for pupils
